Staggered Rims without flares

How many of you are running staggered rims with out flares?
How many of you are running staggered rims with Mudflaps?
How many of you are running staggered replica rims?
How many of you are sick of my posts and just want me to make up my mind?

The good news is I think I found the direction I want to take - Here goes the list:

1. Aluminum running boards
2. Decorative front skid plate
3. OEM White Lights - all 4 corners
4. Black strip on rear bumper (load gaurd)

Now I am down to just down to wheels - OEM a very pricey for the 132's - if I go with replicas, I want to go 20's but don't want to use the flares - just need to know what it looks like without them.

Thanks
JD

Cool Stag 87's w/out flares - LOOKS GREAT!

I'm running staggered 87's without flares... and everything is fine - looks great! IMO. Many people tell me the same when they see my X. I considered purchasing the 4.6/4.8 body kit and flares, but finally decided against it - I'll just keep it a 4.4i body. However, I really like the look of the 4.6/4.8 body style! Here is a pic for you:

I've got 132s on mine and they fit nicely with the stock trim.

Here's my 2001 w/ no flares and 20" TSW Estorils and 315/35's on the rear. I actually like the 'flush' look better......

I love 20's W/O flares. IMO, go with 20's, no mudflaps, no flares and then post a nice pic from the back showing a little of the X side.
